In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 48 The Rat Sect's Fame Spreads Throughout the World Every Day

A friendly attitude.

As usual, we treated each other like ordinary guests, eating, drinking, and chatting.

If you approach Qian Daoliu with a specific purpose in mind, you will inevitably leave a flaw, and you may not gain any advantage whatsoever.

To retreat in order to advance.

This was Wang Zhao's idea.

Then, for the next few days, all that happened was that Qian Daoliu would occasionally come to play chess with Wang Zhao, and that was it.

Aside from getting to know each other a little better, the two didn't ask any further questions and each went their own way.

Wang Zhao only stated that he guessed he was an important person, but did not inquire about his identity.

Qian Daoliu also stated that he was just passing by and that curiosity drove him to come.

The two tacitly avoided asking each other much, but in reality, this was only the surface situation.

Secretly, Qian Daoliu already knew everything about Wang Zhao and unilaterally believed that Wang Zhao was unaware of his identity. As for Wang Zhao, not only had she long guessed Qian Daoliu's identity, but she was also well aware that Qian Daoliu had investigated all her information.

This doesn't mean Wang Zhao was particularly clever; it's just that everything unfolded in such a natural way.

At this time.

The butterfly entered the courtyard.

"Sister Butterfly~"

Wang Zhao first greeted him with a sweet smile, then said:

"You know who that old gentleman is, right?"

Butterfly nodded upon hearing this.

"You're still so smart."

"hey-hey……"

"Why didn't you tell me, Sister Butterfly?"

I thought you knew.

Butterfly's eyes suddenly looked a little strange.

"After all, you've been playing chess with him for several days. Surely you don't even know who he is?"

"Also, you never asked me about it."

"..."

Wang Zhao remained silent.

He thought that Die had been behaving normally these past few days, and that Qian Daoliu had reminded her.

Now it seems that's not the case.

"Who exactly is that old gentleman?"

"My martial soul, the Shadow Butterfly, possesses the attribute of darkness, making it extremely sensitive to the aura of light. In Martial Soul City, aside from that impossible Angel High Priest, the only one who could exert such a strong sense of oppression on me is some old monster from the Light Griffin Clan."

……

"The Griffin Clan..."

After closing the gate, Wang Zhao walked out of the courtyard, still pondering.

He had only heard of this family briefly.

Although the original Douluo Continent novel did not mention it, Wang Zhao learned about this family, which usually kept a low profile, through some historical books in the library in this real world.

Although their clansmen do not often move around in Wuhun City, and few of their clansmen have ever been titled Douluo, their status is quite high.

This is because behind the Griffin family stands the lineage of angels!

Without realizing it.

Wang Zhao walked into a tavern.

The tavern was a melting pot of all sorts of people, making it a good place to gather information. Wang Zhao often came here, ordered a glass of juice or a snack, and then sat quietly in a corner.

He had just had a glass of juice, so he ordered a serving of crispy peanuts instead.

Shortly after he sat down, a group of people gathered around a large table next door, discussing something in a few words.

Wang Zhao then began to listen while cracking peanuts.

"Hey, have you heard? It's about the Haotian Sect."

Beside the table, a tall, thin man leaned forward slightly and whispered.

"Of course I've heard of it, but it's not the Haotian Sect, it's the Rat Sect!"

The burly man on the other side spoke with a disdainful smile, his rough voice revealing no attempt to conceal his true nature.

Immediately, others chimed in:

"Right, right, right! In the entire Soul Master world now, who doesn't know that the current disciples of the Clear Sky Sect are just a bunch of pathetic rats? It's absolutely hilarious!"

"Hahahaha—"

The surrounding patrons burst into laughter, and the tavern was instantly filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Of course, many people were laughing without understanding why they were laughing along.

Afterwards, even an honest person couldn't help but ask:

"What exactly happened?"

"Why do you call the Haotian Sect, one of the three great sects, the 'Rat Sect'?"

Someone then answered him with a smile:

"Your information is really outdated. Do you remember when the Spirit Hall army gathered at the city gate a few days ago?"

"Of course I remember, oh..."

The honest man pondered for a moment, as if he had realized something, and then spoke.

"Could it be that the Spirit Hall army ultimately routed the Clear Sky Sect disciples?"

"Haha, no, not at all!"

The person who paid him a hand waved and smiled.

"Let me tell you, the Spirit Hall army didn't lose a single soldier throughout the entire process. Not only did they thoroughly humiliate the new sect leader of the Rat Sect, the Howling Sky Douluo Tang Xiao, but they also openly brought the Haotian disciples onto the field and beheaded and severed their limbs one by one in public. In the end, it's said that they even kidnapped all the female disciples of the Rat Sect!"

"That's so exciting?!"

Upon hearing this, someone was startled and asked in response:

"The Spirit Hall army hasn't returned yet, has it? How do you know that so clearly?"

"Sigh! This matter has already been spread throughout the world by the various powerful forces. Even the Haotian Sect itself hasn't come forward to refute it, so it must be true... Oh, I almost forgot, those rats have been forced to hide away and 'remain indifferent to worldly affairs,' ha!"

"The Rat Sect, truly lives up to its name!"

"By the way, according to rumors, Xiaotian Douluo is 'Little White'..."

"Hiss~ Terrifying, oh no, so short and weak!"

"..."

After listening for a long time, to be honest, Wang Zhao's mood was strange at this moment.

Aren't these the little "suggestions" he mentioned to Bibi Dong that night?

Did Bibi Dong actually put it into practice?

Gee tut.

Haotian Sect, what a tragic situation!

Wang Zhao sighed inwardly and continued listening.

He hasn't heard the information he wants yet.

the other side.

"By the way, the Spirit Hall's pretext for sending troops this time is that Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao. How is Tang Hao himself? Has he shown up?"

Then someone else suddenly asked.

"Ha, don't even mention it. This year's Haotian disciples are all rats, and Tang Hao is the rat among rats. He didn't even show his face the whole time."

The burly man's expression grew increasingly disdainful.

"Furthermore, the Rat Sect itself has stated that Tang Hao has been expelled from the sect, and he and his descendants will never be allowed to rejoin their ancestral lineage. He's now a stray dog, and even the title of Haotian has been taken back. Now he's called the Daily Douluo!"

"Pfft~ ri ri ri ri... hahahahaha..."

Those around him tried to hold back, but eventually couldn't and burst into laughter.

The atmosphere in the tavern grew increasingly cheerful.

"Oh, and I also heard that the Rat Clan eventually ran away, and its four subordinate single-attribute clans have all been taken over by the Spirit Hall..."

Upon hearing this, a strange glint flashed in Wang Zhao's eyes.

Meanwhile, all over the mainland, rumors about the "Rat Sect" and "Daily Douluo" were circulating, and all sorts of joyful scenes were unfolding.
